Microsoft rolls out redesigned Start Menu for Windows 11 with new features

Microsoft has just begun rolling out its much-anticipated new design for the Start menu for Windows 11. It is part of the October 2025 non-security update (KB5067036) for Windows 11 version 24H2 and 25H2. The new start menu is currently enabled for the users who enrolled for new features in the Windows Update. Microsoft is implementing a gradual rollout, so not everyone will get this new Start menu right away. A broader release is expected with the November patch Tuesday update.
